For the first time in India, composite panels, a novel building component comprising of outer skins of cold formed steel sheeting with infill light weight cellular foam concrete of density 1250kg/m3 is developed

Foam concrete – Uniform distribution of air bubbles throughout the mass of concrete by adding special foam to mortar slurry (cement, sand & fly ash)

Improved ductile behaviour after post-peak with controlled lateral deformation of the panels due to steel sheets interconnected with studs

Due to their high ductility characteristics (ductility factor – 6), these panels have a huge potential in enhancing seismic performance/retrofit strategies for buildings
